* DudeWheresMyRespect: Both the heroes and villains get this, ironically enough. Control Freak is upset that he was rated as less of a threat than Puppet King, and Titans East keeps getting mistaken for the original five. * EmbarrassingNickname: Speedy is "Robin," Aqualad is "unitard guy".

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: If Control Freak hadn't set the challenges for Titans East, they wouldn't have earned any respect. Not that he minds, actually.

Added DiffLines:

* [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee Villains Who Say Squee]]: Control Freak gushes at Titans East for defeating his challenges. Of course, they take the opportunity to capture him, though he's a GracefulLoser about it.

* CoolSword: Remember [[TeenTitansS4E1Episode297494 Episode 297-494]], with its parody of StarWars and a LaserSword with parallel blades? Control Freak either created or brought to the real world a Darth-Maul DoubleWeapon version of it. Sadly, he doesn't use it in combat.

* CuttingTheKnot: How Titans East beats most of Control Freak's challenges. Can't shoot a rocket out of the sky with your arrows? [[spoiler:Hijack one of the rockets themselves.]] Giant shark keeping you from reaching a main valve you need to plug up? [[spoiler:Stick the shark in the valve instead.]]

* TakeThatAudience - Two of them, actually. The first one is when Control Freak is speaking to his online friends; the bizarre theories of the people Control Freak chats with ("Starfire and BB forever!") were apparently taken from actual forum posts. The second one is a more general take that to the audience; the episode was directed at people who were highly critical of Speedy, Aqualad, Bumblebee, and Mas y Menos. We learn from this episode that no, Speedy is ''not'' useless if he doesn't have any arrows, Aqualad ''is'' physically strong even if he's at an aquatic disadvantage, Bumblebee's powers ''are'' awesome even when she's not in combat, and Mas y Menos ''can'' come up with a way to overcome their "have to be touching" disadvantage.
